Just over a week ago, Kim Kardashian found herself at the centre of criticism following an Instagram interaction with model Tyson Beckford which some people branded homophobic.

The whole thing started when The Shade Room captured two comments left by Tyson on this photo of Kim making her way to an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The first said he "didn't care for" her outfit and the second criticised her body.

Well, Kim has now addressed her comment, saying that while she usually ignores criticism, she chose to clapback in this instance because of the body-shaming.

Really dude, you're gonna body shame me? Like, OK. OK, sis. When I choose to clap back, I don't do it to people that I know are just looking for the come up and just looking to clout chase. That is the most annoying thing. I see things all the time, I want to say something so badly, and be like: "I'll end you." But then it'll just continue so much more. With this, people were sending me stuff on his page and he keeps on going and going, and I'm just like: "Dude, that's so female lame to me. That's just lame to me.

And she also maintained that the comment was in no way intended to be homophobic.

She said:

For anyone saying that I am homophobic for the comment of saying "sis," I'm sorry but I'm the least...all my best friends are gay. I support the community, I love the community, they love me. That has nothing to do with this.

However, soon after the interview was released many people took to Twitter to criticise her comments.
